I don't see how that is any worse than the Short Bus french poster. Those were up all over Paris.[/quote]
It's been getting press coverage owing to Dujardin's Oscar nom. Some have seen it as potentially damaging his chances of a win, hence its removal.

That reminds me of an exceptionally juvenile idea my friends and I once had (spoilered for sheer stupidity):

SpoilerShow

it involved applying a sort of stencil to the end of a penis so that upon ejaculation it would distribute the semen in such a way that it would make an image or a word. We imagined customized monograph stencils would be popular, making it akin to branding a person or signing your work. I wouldn't normally mention this, but that poster is so absurd it merits the comparison.

Can anyone recommend a good place (either online or in a US chain store of some kind) to buy a 30x40 (UK quad) poster frame? We've had a MoC Double Indemnity poster in the tube it shipped in for a long while now, procrastinating from the task of framing it.

A.I. Friedman's pretty reliable, at least in New York. Are you getting the frame delivered or are you mailing it away for framing?

I'm looking to keep costs down. Typically I buy $20-ish black bordered frames of highly questionable quality from Walmart when I want to frame a 27x40 poster, and I'm ideally looking for something like that at 30x40.

Well, they sell frames very much like that (I have them on my apartment posters) and customize to one's specifications. I don't remember it being too, too expensive. It cost about $200 to frame four giant posters of varying size, and I opted for glass instead of plastic since it was the cheaper option (although a lot harder to frame by oneself; blood, sweat and tears went into my home decoration, man). Customer service is pretty good as well. They cater to galleries and Johnny Cinephile.

I can't find frames that size for shipping on their site, so I'll have to wait until I'm in NYC in September to pick one up. Thanks for the tip. If anyone has a recommendation that's less travel intensive, though, I'd love to hear it.

Well, just so you know, they probably won't have them in the store at NY, so call ahead and they'll get em ready for you by the time you get there (took about a week and a half for them to arrive from their warehouse). Which is what I'm sure you'd have done anyway, but, y'know, I didn't want to give the impression they just have your preferred size in stock.
